Description
When installing Ubuntu present a codec download prompt to install and enable. This way users who so choses will have a OS that will be able to play mp3's divx movies, etc. It would still be the users choice, but presented to the user earlier rather than have to wait till booting into the OS. Just eases the users first experience, which matters when trying to win over users from other OS's :)

The people that would need this probable don't know what a codec is.

+1 for user friendlyness. While OGG can be proven to be better than MP3 etc; remember that many users still expect a brand new operating system to be able to play their existing music collection...
Kind of related (it's all about making lives easier for new users!) idea number 8538: "Do an (optional) HW test on first install":
